You might want to check Snopes on this. The Sidewinder is a heat seeking
air-to-air weapon. For air-to-ground, the Tornado is equipped with the
millimeter wave radar equipped Brimstone missile. There's also a dual
mode seeker variant of the Brimstone which adds a semi-active laser
sensor. FWIW, I played a large part in the development of the Brimstone
flight controls.
